300hp GR Yaris v Supra 3.0-litre - DRAG RACE
Need help buying your next car? Click www.carwow.co.uk/-help-me-carwow and my team and I will help you choose your ideal car at a fair price - from Mat Watson!
.............................................................
Who’s up for a Toyota showdown?! We’ve got the Toyota Supra going up against the Toyota GR Yaris!
Now on the face of it, you may think this drag race is a little unfair. After all, Mat’s sat in the Toyota Supra, which has a 3-litre straight-six to deliver 340hp & 500Nm of torque.
However, the GR Yaris lining up alongside him is no ordinary GR Yaris! It’s been tuned by Litchfield, and despite the tune only costing £640, it can now deliver 300hp and 385Nm from its 1.6-litre 3 cylinder turbo!
However, the tune isn’t the only thing that’s giving the GR Yaris an advantage! First up, it’s AWD compared to the Supra being RWD! What’s more, given the Mk5 Supra is powered by a BMW engine, we know its launch mode can be fairly temperamental at the best of times!
So what do you think - will the drag race be an easy win for the lighter, cheaper GR Yaris? Or will the Supra have what it takes to bring it back? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

@AJ Mauricio You're welcome :)
@@lavishmctavish4905 Murray's spirit still roaming along tho.
The Yaris driver’s reactions are tight. He is right - he has the moral victory:)
Ahead for about 10 secs of the 12.5 is a win in my book !!
Imagine having just bought your fancy new Supra, driving home, end up at a light next to a Yaris and youre like 'easy pickings...', only to find yourself biting a hole in the seat as you only just barely eek out the win lol
One of the first drivers on the show who knows how to launch a manual aswell
His launch was good but watch his ger changes, the car loses speed like he dropped the revs before pushing the clutch in. you can see him do it on both goes, the car dips and comes back to Mat.
@@will4may175 yes, I spotted that too. Seems to be the 2nd to 3rd gear change. Perhaps also a ratio setting. Seems unlikely to be driver error both times

4:17 Those brakes on the Yaris are toasty Edit: Upon rewatching I noticed it simply is the supra's red paint reflecting in the brake disc.
It wouldn't surprise me if that was the case, it brakes so violently lol
The launches from the Yaris were impressive.
Good launches but not as good as they look. The yaris looks like an rs4 at the launch compared to the supra
kzhead.info/sun/o9VmgddlpWiMmKM/bejne.html :)
Because has almost twice the grip because of awd. With brake coefficient of 1 tires (premium performance not slicks) you can get 1g of acceleration while with a rwd 50:50 weight distribution you get like 0.6-0.65g max acceleration
That thing took off
That new supra is shit i thought we would see a 3jz in that thing
This doesn't makes sense already but let's see how it goes
He's the only gay fanboy so called journalist who would ever make such a shit comparison. I think his little sausage gets hard for the yaris. He even rated it higher than a Civic TYPE R LMAO. he's completely lost it. He needs to be fired!

That Yaris is so damn fast off the line, just great.
It's an AWD. Of course the launch will be fast. Imagine how fast it will be with launch control being integrated

Matt in this video is a real BMW driver. He beats small hatchback and extremely happy about it.
And makes him do the brake test on a slip and slide and doesn’t even do anything about it

on brake tests you should use the timing gear to compare the results w/ reaction time vs actual breaking distance

The only time Mat is in a slower car is when he races is mom and his fiance. What a gentleman!
More often than not he’s competing against the 911 Turbo S, so that statement is slightly untrue. But I do agree that he treats his ladies well.
He's a cool lad.

300hp for small 3cylinder thats criminal, i can feel the hurt of the litle engine
It's not actually. 2 liter 4 cyl can easily deliver 450 with good tuning and exaust, so 300 for 3 cylinder is alright
It's a rally engine though so itll be able to take punishment
Its a toyota
It’s Toyota rally engine ready to go
AMG 2 litre has almost 450 hp
You can see how much difference there is between a good manual shift VS automatic, Yaris lost 2-3m at every single gear change.
That Yaris GR is a legendary classic in the making 🔥🔥🔥
Supra: *cries in corner*
@@sooofancier Yaris: laughs in corner 😂 Supra: launch control supreme (not) 😭
How
The yaris is legendary 😁
It will ALWAYS take Second place to Audi's mad little A1 Quattro!!!! Oh you forgot about that car...what you don't even know it even existed?? Way way before your lil 3 cylinderT Yaris GR was even a twinkle in Toyota's marketing boffins offices......
1.6L + 3cyl + AWD + stick shift VS 3.0L + 6cyl + RWD + automatic = VERY VERY GOOD JOB FOR THE YARIS!!!!!
Tuned Yaris*
Its tuned moron in what planet is that fair
@@cirkic dude it still had less torque and hp
@@cirkic it's still way cheaper though so it is more than fair
And ofc do not forget the driver of the Yaris. Finally someone, who can drive a manual car with very good reaction time, launch, and gear changes.

Exactly what I was thinking 🤣

I get asked that question every time i visit the car wash because apparently they had the mirror caps of other Yaris fall off in there before and the people working there can't tell the difference between a Yaris, a Corolla and an Auris.
I don’t understand why they won’t Stick more in the 86 but chose the Yaris
That Yaris gets off the line like a bloody rocket
This supra just looks stunning; I’d love one if only they’d do a manual🥺
they do its called a 235i
the 2023 model has a manual
4:16 look at the yaris brakes 🔥
Hah! Good spot! How can they be red for that long tho? Should be cooled down? Or are they painted? (Stupid question)
Its just a reflection from the red supra. You can see they are metal grey after the supra come front of the yaris.
@@RRUser2003 ahhhh, cool :) thanks
@@RRUser2003 good observation 👍
@@RRUser2003 they still could have been hot, but by the time they started the race and drove at high speed they cooled off
The sheer force at launch and kick back when the Yaris shifts would terrify me.
Ee
it Does launch Really hard! the ultimate stoplight sleeper mobile.... up to any sane speed around city streets, that yaris would stomp most anything..pulled well on the supra till right near the end of the 1/4..you'll never get that fast on local streets... probably got passed at around 100mph
That Yaris is amazing. The ultimate compact hot hatch. In case you think I'm biased, I drive a convertible Audi S5, so I'm not. I just love AWD cars.
The roll race was the best comparison of real world performance here but all of it was entertaining. Cheers.
Regardless of how close it is. Both generations of the B58 engine are just a work of art.
Yes
Not really, just like the N series they have massive coolant issues.
@@Frost640 it’s true but every engine has some different issues
@@Frost640 BF8's are crazy impressive. Only thing comparable to the 5 cyl mqb in the rs3/ttrs in that price range. And comparable as in tuning potential/potency not stock performance.
B58 is one unreliable piece of shite , massive coolant issues in that BMwoe engine
Love these crazy matchups! it makes this channel alot of fun! keep up the great content
Hi Skip741x.
Awesome race Mat!😸😸
Please do a base model Yaris vs the Yaris GR it would be amazing to see the performance difference
GR Yaris is a beast!
An ugly beast (not 4C level, but still)
*Never thought I’d see a Supra vs Yaris. Good Job Mat* 😀👍

On the road, unless doing 100+, the Yaris i think would be the quicker car- or so close as to make bugger all difference who "won".
3:28 - missed opportunity to drop in one of MCM Marty’s “In the bin!”...
I'm disappointed in how few people thought of this in the comments honestly.
@@RoderickVoordouw IN THE BIN!
IN THE BIN!
Maybe he saw this comment, and threw his phone IN THE BIN.
What? Where is the Dyson Vacuum cleaner animation while sound checking the GR Yaris?
BMW Launch control: 1. Put the car into Sport + mode & transmission into Sport mode (2 button presses and one one small movement of the gear lever) 2. Stomp on and hold down the brake pedal 3. Floor the gas pedal 4. Lift off the brake pedal and let the car do its thing. This process is better than some other launch control systems out there, and arguably hard to mess up.
Please give a moment to appreciate that Car wow has tried to post videos every day. 👍👍

Hahaha at the very beginning I understood the Uauauiua from Borat 🤣🤣😘
Excellent video again!
4:17 look at the toyotas brake discs...
Its the reflection of the Supra on the Rotor.
Once you go above ~250bhp most of the performance improvement is above 70mph. Not much use on the road and the extra power adds weight which reduces both agility and affordability.
My 911 Turbo wants to disagree with you. But you have a point.
Dang I hate it when I tune my car and it gains 100kg🥴
Is that why most 250 hp cars are over 5s 0-60 and most 400+ hp cars are in the 4 or less second range?
@@cosmic_gate476 I wish my 600hp and giant turbo could do a 4 second 0-60, but you know.... Gearing.....
Hey I think you should try the four-cylinder version of the super against the Yaris in both forms.
7:50 the red colour of the Supra reflects in the brake discs of th Yaris. It look like they are glowing hot :)
Finally someone sensible to understand they weren’t doing any heavy braking and yes it’s pretty damn satisfying to see
When he said "what would win" right at the start of the video i thought he was gonna say "wawa we wah"
borat!
Never expected the Yaris to be this fast!!! The supra is cool as well though, nicee video 👍
You do realize the Yaris was tuned and don't come from the factory that fast and it still took the L? Tune the Supra like the Yaris and it is an annihilation.

But it doesn't, just because they are in the same video, doesn't mean they do.
I would like to see a 991.2 GT2 RS against a 992 Turbo S. If possible please on dry tarmac :D
YES!
@@rayyan6515 Turbo S will get it off the line but then the GT2RS will come back and they'll be neck and neck around the 1/4 mile. Winner will likely be decided by reaction time and grip/conditions.
Yes more cylinders improve power delivery and power smoothness. However peak power isn't relative to the number of given cylinders and overall performance.
It would be more interesting if you could have a section of a B road & see which one would be quicker & more fun...on a straight road the bigger engine (twice the capacity just about) would inevitably win🤷♂️..your right though most if not all would have the litchfield Yaris..even if they were the same price...hopefully Toyota will sell the 25,000 Yaris GR planned production & do a special special 👍
Jesus christ can't believe how close it was ...that is some impressive power from that 1.6 🙉😂

What do you expect it's a bimmer
well its a rwd vs a awd it's surprising how good it did also its not like a mk4 or any other supra would beat it
7:17 anyone else notice the Yaris brake-boosting, getting the front rotors glowing hot?
as with the brake test Vs the civic type r it looks like the abs on the yaris isn't quite as good as the others. the wheels are locking up too much. if might be better if the driver turns out of and modulates themselves.

Bloody hell! That Yaris looks like it’s actually braking from 2nd -3rd!

Mat being in the winning car gives it away every time.
Why does Yaris stop in the middle of the track every time? Does the pilot's hand cramp?
Manual gearbox, that's why.
